"And some just have what the other team wants," Alicia replied with a wink. Her first week here in the new world she had felt like no matter what she did, she mucked it up. She had been uncertain and nervous and made a fool of herself on far too many occasions, though that had all seemed to settle down after she had spent the day with Charlie. Finding a friend, of sorts, in him had restored some of her belief in herself, a belief that had only grown stronger with the success of Healing she had been part of in Two. Nothing, however, compared to the ease it was to run with Viktor. Just like when they had been sprinting, she was now feeling free, free to do anything she liked, even engage in flirty banter with a world class Seeker. That, in itself, was a little odd to her, as she had never had any particular soft spot for Seekers, though she did admire their skill. She just admired the finely tuned team work between a team's Chasers, and that of the Irish National Team's Chasers in particular. Alright, so she might have had a crush on Cedric Diggory at some point, but that wasn't because he was a Seeker, that was because of something entirely different; his gorgeous looks. The man she was running with now, Viktor, was so unlike the student that had spent the school year at Hogwarts. He wasn't the brooding, slightly duck feeted, TriWizard contestant who kept to himself and frankly came off as a little arrogant. Of course, she didn't know him at all, but she just couldn't combine the two images she had of him. There was no doubt in her mind, that she preferred this Viktor, the man with whom she felt good about flirting with. "Just name the time, and I'll be there."
"I feel good," she assured him, then chuckled, "but I'll do another check when we get to the western gate. It's just a straight line to my house from there." Running and talking at the same time was beginning to affect her breathing, though her muscles were less sore than she had feared they might be at this point. "I know it's not a race, I just needed... to run. Perhaps even run myself ragged, just because I can, you know?"
